Civil Engineering, B.Eng.
Students of this programme become application-oriented civil engineers; they are trained to solve the varied tasks in the field of construction within society and the environment by their theoretical and practical abilities independently and autonomously. The degree programme is geared to the expectations and needs of the labour market. Its objective is to qualify excellently trained graduates for work in planning offices, construction companies, and public administration. Therefore, students are taught on the basis of applied science to get a professionally grounded qualification to be able to independently fulfil the full scope of tasks of the building industry. Students learn to work solution-oriented and interdisciplinary. Ability for teamwork is promoted. Additionally, students are trained to work actively on questions related to an increasing globalisation.

Programme selection →What you study
The programme takes seven semesters which consist of a general part (two semesters) and the following subject-specific part (five semesters). During the general part, students are taught the required technical-scientific fundamentals and skills. During the subject-specific part, the focus lies on teaching in-depth competences by applying the knowledge acquired during the first two semesters. Teaching formats include lectures and tutorials supported by practical coursework in university laboratories. Additionally, a 15-week basic internship as well as an internship during the practical semester have to be done. Major fields of study: Building construction, statics, steel construction, reinforced concrete construction, bridge construction, construction operations, hydraulic engineering, sanitary engineering, project management, project development.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
